Karnali River
Book Now

The Karnali is Nepal's longest and largest river. The area it flows through is wild and relatively unpolluted with some of the most pristine jungle scenarios in Nepal and abundant wildlife. The rapids are also pretty wilder in comparison to Sun Koshi. The Karnali is more constrained by its canyon walls, making bigger, more continuous and serious rapids. The access to the river is two days drive from Kathmandu.
